Additional Information

The DVM program at EUC follows a competency-based, integrated curriculum which equips students with Day One Competencies--enabling graduates to independently perform entry-level tasks and duties in the veterinary profession. All core subjects follow the European System of Evaluation of Veterinary Training (ESEVT) requirements and other EU and international directives.   

With a diverse international student body and highly engaged faculty, students feel supported and challenged at the same time. The excellent student-faculty ratio in a learner-centered environment is complemented by sophisticated laboratory facilities with the most advanced simulation and skills training complex.   

Students gain early exposure to animal care, husbandry and clinical practice and have access to the EUC Small Animal Veterinary Teaching Hospital and a wide range of partnerships for hands-on training and elective practical training. Graduates of the Veterinary Medicine program will be capable of entering all commonly recognized disciplines of the veterinary profession.
